Type of road for agriculture
Agricultural road in Switzerland
An agricultural road or farm track is a service road that serves predominantly agricultural or forestry purposes and has only local significance. Agricultural roads are typically unpaved dirt roads or covered with gravel , but in some cases asphalt roads are agricultural roads.[ 1] [ 2]
In the United States , a "farm-to-market road " or "ranch-to-market road" (sometimes "farm road" or "ranch road" for short) is a state road or county road that connects rural or agricultural areas to market towns.[ 3] [ 4]
